Hopefully there is more to the game. What good is a full galaxy to explore, if there is nothing to be curios or afraid of while doing it?
Everybody likes some good mysteries to be found, fought or fled from...
After all most people pay a fee to be entertained, not to entertain others. I am leader of a MMO guild and most people in there won't jump into this position because they suddenly would have to do something. They just want to consume, enjoy and be taken care of. Some stories should be told by the game itself because there are much more gamers eager to react but to act on their own.
